No, this is not fact. This is simply one man's thoughts. If Paul Konerko was going to be back next season, Kenny Williams would've already made an offer to him during the restricted free agent period. Instead, there haven't been any talks of a new contract. Kenny is always willing to look to the future and move on past fan favorites. I don't think Pauly will be any exception. Just look at Joe Crede, Jermain Dye, Tadahito Iguchi, Frank Thomas, Juan Uribe, Scott Podsednick, Jim Thome. Kenny doesn't care if these guys appeal to the crowd. Doing what the fan's want doesn't always make you a winning team. I fully anticipate Paul Konerko to be in a different uniform next season. From a baseball standpoint, I think that is probably what's best for both sides.
